Doctor John Posted November 14, 2004 Share Posted November 14, 2004 Could a sin bin be part of this forum? Is it possible to do such a thing, it would still enable posters to post on the site, but they would be restricted to a certain section, ' The Sin Bin ', for a period of time, I personally think it would be good fun, for posters and Mods alike Many of the Forums main characters are Banned, there is no explanation, no recourse, it would be much more fun to section a miscreant rather than execute them without trial. Just a suggestion, maybe I will get banned for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Abandon Posted November 14, 2004 Share Posted November 14, 2004 I am very interested in this sin bin idea. I'd like to volunteer for stay in there, but first can you tell me what kind of sins we will be permitted, and can I wear my latex catsuit???

Darknight Posted November 14, 2004 Share Posted November 14, 2004 Great idea john, The flame forum were banned members meet. would be a lot of crap in there but at least their friends could find them again. Haven't seen anyone yet in the last year to use my method of getting noticed when banned . i'm suprised nobody else came up with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davethailand Posted November 14, 2004 Share Posted November 14, 2004 Good idea, flaming room, bad members get locked in there and slagged off by everyone else until they learn their lessons. (and they can't answer back) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tayto Posted November 14, 2004 Share Posted November 14, 2004 Great idea.Lets also get rid of a few useless moderators who are only using this website as a power play. Some people sit at home or on a computor all day and make 1 line comments and snide remarks.If I make 500 usless posts do I also become a moderator.

BoomBoom Posted November 14, 2004 Share Posted November 14, 2004 Great idea, but i'm not sure if the forum software can support this. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> It will support this, other sites have a warning bar under the Group: Members Posts: 21 Joined: 2004-03-08 Member No.: 8,092 which goes up if u bend the rules, when it reaches 100% u get a ban Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

astral Posted November 15, 2004 Share Posted November 15, 2004 There is a Sin Bin, but it is not open to all comers. The Mods are not supposed to just delete posts, if a post is deemed inappropriate then the message will be moved to the Sin Bin. Occasionally the big boss, George, does reinstate posts. If the infraction is small then the poster may receive a warning, and their Warning Level will be increased. The warning level is not visible to the user, but Mods can see it. I think the old sw did show it, but the new does not (strange). For bad abuse of the system then there may be an immediate ban, but the poster will always be informed of the ban and the reason. It is not politic to advertise the reasons for individual bans. If you have read the Forum Guidelines then you will know how far you can go.

George can I suggest looking at what mods do what, do a balance sheet based on useful input from the proposed mods, then kick the dick headed ones. Then run a recruitment drive where people put up a reason why they should be mods based on their posting history and members vote and elect the other ONE. Democracy it isn't but fcku it would be fun.
